Chapter 191: The Meiji Restoration (7)

There are three types of abalone in Japan: net abalone, Jipin abalone, and hemp abalone, among which net abalone is the smallest and the most expensive. There are 4 net abalone in the family can be heirloom, as long as it is well preserved, the appreciation is definitely higher than that of stock funds.

More than 4 net abalone, basically it is difficult to estimate - the nature here is wild abalone, experienced people can easily distinguish different abalone according to the color of the abalone shell, due to the species, ingestion of food, growth environment is different, abalone shell will have obvious, irreversible differences, such as feeding brown algae, green algae made of compound feed, will grow bright green "color" shell, feeding seaweed is dark red "color", and the whole shell is brown red "color" is mostly wild abalone.

Generally speaking, there is no problem at all with 4 heads of Japanese net abalone selling for 800,000 yuan, but in fact, when 20 heads of abalone are all 20,000 yuan, 4 heads of abalone are often priceless and marketable, and they are not something that ordinary diners can eat.

Theoretically, 3 heads of abalone should be sold at two double prices, but such transactions are mostly carried out in private, and there is always no fixed price for what the price is.

As for the two-headed abalone and the one-headed abalone, this kind of thing basically no longer exists in the 21st century, and it only depends on how much the person who wants it can afford, not the real value.

The production of dried abalone was invented by the Japanese Mizujisuke Saburo from the beginning of the 18th century, and its purpose was to facilitate the tribute to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Mitsui Takasui naturally knew that Chinese liked to eat abalone, if it weren't for this, he would not have specially prepared abalone to entertain Huang Xuan, but even in Japan, the price of abalone is extremely high, and he naturally hesitated: "What does Lord Huang think?" ”

"I know that you want to be reformed, and the Restoration, like our Westernization Movement, is to learn from the West, but you have also seen that Britain, France, the Netherlands, and the United States, which country does not all ask for money with their mouths open, Lord Li came this time to combine the strength of you and me to deal with these foreigners together, the two are reasonable, and the price is fairer." Huang Xuan smiled.

Mitsui Takasui didn't believe Huang Xuan's words, Japan before the Meiji Restoration, was far from being qualified to be on an equal footing with China, he preferred to believe that this was Huang Xuan's compliment, so he just smiled stiffly.

Huang Xuan "touched" and "touched" his head, and said, "I know that you are a little worried about me, it doesn't matter. As he spoke, his fingers still on the table, he looked as if he was higher than the other two. He played the rhythm, looked at Mitsui Gao and said: "I'll give you another drawing, complete drawing, and I can also teach you to build a factory." ”

"Oh?" Mitsui Takashi answered, but did not nod.

Huang Xuan smiled and said: "I will teach you to make steel, build a steel mill, produce pig iron, rails and wrought iron, and use Martin furnace, this is a new method invented by Siemens three years ago, and we have just gotten it." "Martin furnaces are open-hearths.

Hearing the word steel mill, Mitsui and Iwasaki were moved.

The development of modern industry in Japan basically began during the Meiji Restoration, but since the founding of the country, a large number of Japanese people have begun to look at the world, but it is only due to the political environment that they have not been able to flourish.

However, in the past ten years, a large number of technical talents have been accumulated for Japan, so that as soon as the War of the Curtain Fall was successful, a modern factory was established.

For the understanding of steel, Mitsui Takasui and Yataro Iwasaki may be the two most sober people in Japan.

And the Mitsui chaebol and the Mitsubishi chaebol, from the very beginning, also took the path of heavy industry. When these two people dreamed at night, they didn't think about the question of how to renew and how to renew.

A steel mill makes their eyes shine more than an ethereal ship.

Huang Xuan pretended not to see the gaffe of the two, drank two sips of tea, and then said to Lorraine: "Take two more copies of the design drawings of the steel mill." ”

"The design drawings of the entire steel mill are about 500,000 drawings, are you sure you want them now?"

Huang Xuan choked on a sip of tea, Yataro Iwasaki hurriedly patted him on the back, he lowered his head, and said: "Let's come to the general design first, you pick a suitable time, don't be too advanced, although you will blow it up in the future." ”

"What about the drawings of the state-run Yawata Ironworks."

"Whatever." Huang Xuan didn't know what these flags were, and as he spoke, he took out the drawings from his arms, and this time Mitsui's thin face almost touched the table, and he stared at his hands.

"Ahh Huang Xuan took out about a dozen small drawings, all of which were deliberately reduced by Lorraine, if it weren't for that, a No. 1 drawing would have been stacked and would have been bulging.

Mitsui took the treasure in his hand, and opened it page by page, although he didn't understand it by looking at it, but he was happy in his heart.

Huang Xuan waited for the two to look at it for a long time, and then said: "Our Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, spent 5 million taels of silver, and later transformed, the Germans had to go 2 million again, this drawing is complete, as long as you go to a foreign country to buy the machine, at least save you 3 million taels, I only need one-third, 1 million taels." ”

This is definitely a lion's big mouth, but Mitsui Takasui didn't bargain, he didn't have a bottom yet, so he just said: "My lord, please spare us for two days, prepare the silver taels, and we'll talk about it." ”

Huang Xuan pouted, and the two of them lowered their heads to look at the drawings, and at this time Lorraine said: "Huang Xuan, the phone number of Sony President Yoshida Shuhei." ”

"Take it." Huang Xuan sat back and leaned against the wooden plank room.

Yoshida Shuhei is an old man in his 60s, and it was just now that he became the president of Sony, but he has been at Sony for longer than Huang Xuan's age, and he is an old goblin who has worked hard from the lower levels.

The news that Huang Xuan won a $14 billion loan has long been spread in the upper class, and his long patent roster has long been held by Yoshida Shuhei, and the old man who was sitting in the office at the time almost had a heart attack.

Within Sony, there are already people who have begun to propose to abandon Blu-ray. Although, not mainstream.

Huang Xuan sat in the 200-year-old pavilion and said in inaudible Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Yoshida." ”

Lorraine amplified his voice for him, and to Shuhei Yoshida, it was just a very ordinary voice, and his own translator sat next to him, and responded: "Hello, Mr. Yoshida asked if you are really interested in the Blu-ray project." ”

is a very direct question, for a Japanese, such a straightforward approach without a little greeting can only show that the other party is very angry.

It is natural to be angry.
